Show call came for volunteers to meet a Handcart Company and I went with another man to Fort Bridger, Wyoming, where we met the Company. This was the saddest sight I had ever seen. The biggest part of the Company was given out and nearly frozen. Some had frozen feet and some had their hands frozen. After leaving Fort Bridger I was called on to help bury children who had died during the night. When we reached East Canyon we buried two more children. The Canyon was full of snow and we had all we could do to get through. I returned to my home in East Weber (Uintah). My father and I spent about 40 days hauling material from the canyons near Salt Lake City for building of the Temple and Tabernacle. Father did carpentry work and I did mostly team work I married Lydia Stoddard on March 5, 1857. Her parents were Amos and Leah Fickes Stoddard. She was born March 11, 1836, in Peoria, Illinois. Times were hard and money scarce. Our farm and cows made our living. In the Winter I logged in the hills, hauled the logs to the mouth of Weber Canyon and sold them to get a little money for clothing and shoes for my family. I helped guard Weber Canyon when Johnston's Army came. On one trip I became worried and told the men that something was wrong at home. When I arrived home I found that our baby had died. The railroad was built while we lived in Mountain Green, just a half mile south of our house. I will never forget the first train my team saw. I was going through the Canyon when the engineer blew the train whistle. My team started to run and dragged me over the rocks. I was hurt pretty bad. A neighbor, John Heber Robinson, came along and helped me home. We lived close to the Indian camp grounds and always fed them when they asked for food. They stole a good span of horses from me and one from Eli Spaulding. The Indians became very mean and some of us men tried to make peace with them. We traveled through a big patch of grass to get to their camp. We thought that peace had been restored, but on the way home we got in the middle of this patch of dry grass and the Indians set fire to it. It sure did burn. We saw it coming and started a fire where we were and burnt a place big enough to stand in. The Indians whooped and hollered when they saw the fire coming so near us. In another incident I saw the Indians gathered on the Weber River a short distance from our home. They strapped a squaw on a pony. She was crying and so 126 |
